A wide array of microorganisms, including many novel, phylogenetically deeply rooted taxa,
survive and thrive in extreme environments. These unique and reduced-complexity …

The ocean's ability to sequester carbon away from the atmosphere exerts an important
control on global climate. The biological pump drives carbon storage in the deep ocean and …

Human-like modes of communication, including mutual gaze, in dogs may have been
acquired during domestication with humans. We show that gazing behavior from dogs, but …

The “biological pump” is the process by which photosynthetically-produced organic matter in
the ocean descends from the surface layer to depth by a combination of sinking particles …

Understanding the nature of organic matter flux in the ocean remains a major goal of
oceanography because it impacts some of the most important processes in the ocean …

Carbon fixation by chemoautotrophic microorganisms in the dark ocean has a major impact
on global carbon cycling and ecological relationships in the ocean's interior, but the relevant …

Containing as much carbon as the atmosphere, marine dissolved organic matter is one of
Earth's major carbon reservoirs. With invigoration of scientific inquiries into the global carbon …

The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high-pressure conditions, which has a
variable impact on prokaryotes depending on whether they are piezophilic (that is, pressure …

Photosynthesis in the surface ocean produces approximately 100 gigatonnes of organic
carbon per year, of which 5 to 15 per cent is exported to the deep ocean,. The rate at which …
